The risk of systemic absorption is greater in the area of the face. Corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects and for that reason, they are administered in cases of eczema and dermatitis. However, their action has to be limited to the affected skin areas (the target organ) and not the systemic organs. The skin of the face is not as thick as on the rest of the body, so applying the corticosteroid cream on this area increases the risk of the absorption of the drug in the systemic circulation.

What is the correct definition of antibodies?
Softa [21]

Answer: The answer is  C

Explanation:

 Antibodies or otherwise called Immunoglobulin are special protein that are produced by certain lymphocytes which produces antibodies which can affect the invading bacteria or other foreign  bodies called the antigens  or other toxins in a number of ways . Certain antibodies known as agglutinins make bacteria harmless by causing them to clump together. The lysins dissolve the outer coats of bacteria, the antitoxin neutralize the toxin of bacteria  while precipitins precipitate the toxin as insoluble and therefore , convert them to a harmless compound. Antibodies are always produced by the immune system.

What distribution of phenotypes would be expected for a polygenic trait?
rewona [7]
 The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait. Anyhow, The distribution of phenotypes for a typical polygenic trait can often be expressed as a bell-shaped curve.

Many traits are controlled by two or more genes and are, therefore, called polygenic traits<span>. Each gene of a polygenic trait often has two or more alleles. As a result, one polygenic trait can have many possible genotypes and phenotypes.</span>
